General Discussion / Re: Thanks for the Memories
November 30, 2020, 09:04:45 AM
God, where has the time gone? Those first lines resonated with me, I don't even remember leaving. I don't remember logging out of here and making any sort of conscious choice not to come back. I was here for 5 years and honestly those were some of the best times of my young life. This place was a haven from middle school through to high school. I think this was even where I had my first virtual crush hahah. I never did well socially in school, and I loved being able to come here afterwards and feel like I had friends. I know back then I was probably pretty annoying, so thanks to everyone for putting up with me for so long until I eventually did my final Irish goodbye hahah.

I know it's pretty dead here now, but I'm glad I remembered and came back for a walk down memory lane. It was a great 5 years, and I wish nothing but the best of luck to all of you who may see this. I'm going to join the FB group, hopefully I'll see some of you there  :)

Go to 4chan's paranormal board. The /x/. I know it's the last place to travel for reliable info, but someone there may have seen it too.

I'd never jump ship on Nintendo, they may be failing the home console wars, but I feel they succeed WAAAAY better than anyone EVER could with the portable console. The 3DS just needs some time, sure, it'll get bogged down with crap, but it WILL have some good stuff.

Also, I'm never going to Microsoft, they're failing so hard against the PS3 it isn't even funny.

Valve even made the PS3 version of Portal 2 the best (Between XBox and PS3 anyway)

Xbox has some cheap mii rip off thing and that's about it going for it's online. The PS3 does everything XBox live can, but free... So I see no reason why I should settle for the inferior Xbox, and have to pay for it. I can play blu-ray on my PS3, play games with much more superior graphics...

And don't say anything about the stolen information, it coulda happened to the XBox too.

But this is about Nintendo.

I'm not about to jump ship on them, I think they still have potential, it's just...

Well, Sturgeons law is... Definitely in effect here.
I completely agree with what you said about the portable console, but that's not what I mean. In my personal opinion, they are focusing way too much on the family. Yes, it's where the money's at, but that doesn't mean that they have to stop making games for the older kids. I know that my ranting won't magically change their productions.

Just saiyan.

The last thing Nintendo released that I truly loved was Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. That's it. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed anything from Nintendo since Radiant Dawn, and that's a crying shame. Super Mario Galaxy 2 was pretty cool- better than its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy, and yet I enjoyed Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door a LOT more than either of those titles. Not a single game out of Nintendo since the release of the Wind Waker has surpassed the Wind Waker in my humble opinion. Nothing has even come close to touching it (again in my opinion).

I'm right there with ya, pal. Nintendo needs to earn my allegiance back, or I won't be purchasing their new system. If I don't see some seriously "I need them" games for the new system, I'm simply not buying, not even for Zelda (unless I hear good things about it). Truth is, XBox and EVEN PS3 is blowing the Wii out of the water when it comes to enjoyable video games. Sure the Wii sold better than the both of them, but that's only because it turned its back on the people that made them what they are today. I've got a growing grudge against Nintendo, and if it isn't quelled, I'm going to turn into a Nintendo opposer.

. . .


. . .

Might even turn an application into Microsoft. >:(

This is exactly how I've started to feel. Its people like us who gave Nintendo such notoriety, and for them to use that against us enrages and saddens me! I've played the 3DS, and while it is pretty cool, its not nearly cool enough to pay what they want for it.
I'm with you, Wind Waker set the bar.

General Discussion / The Sinking Ship of Nintendo
May 16, 2011, 04:02:57 PM
Hello there TDC, it's been awhile since I've posted. In the year(s?) I've been gone, Nintendo has gradually lost my love. They've made no games that I as a more intense gamer can get into. All of their recently released games have been entirely family friendly, even the Zelda games feel dumbed down. Maybe it's just me growing out of the puzzles or the style, but I feel as though Nintendo is trying to please the family, not so much the die-hard older Nintendo fan.

Is it just me?  ???

General Discussion / Re: Osama Bin Laden is DEAD
May 16, 2011, 12:29:01 AM
Imagine that Al Qaeda killed Obama and took pictures. Now imagine that they decide to post them online, as well as through every major news channel. America would be in such an outrage that every man who could enlist, would. That's the government's stand point right now. We don't need to go glorifying this, it may be best to just lay it to rest. Al Qaeda has promised revenge on Pakistan and the US already. Evidence was found not too long ago (so I heard) that an attack on a major train in the US had been in the works following Osamas death. That's the aggression we are getting without showing the world his dead face. Personally, I'm okay with no pictures. I actually do believe he is dead, and I am satisfied. Thats just my opinion :)

Im not a religious person. I dont believe that religion decides weather or not a spirit stays or goes.

You mean be exorcism? If so, you clearly haven't seen A Haunting.

Actually...poltergeists are not ghosts...poltergeists are caused by people un-knowingly giving off large ammounts of phychic energy in a single moment. Thus causing something to move. Usually caused by teens during puberty or while they are going through a lot of stress.

That's a debatable theory :\

More like a breach in the definition of poltergeist:

Quote from: dictionary.compoltergeist: n
a ghost or spirit supposed to manifest its presence by noises, knockings, etc.

Quote from: AliCal on July 12, 2009, 09:53:21 AM
No offense but I don't think that is true. I'm not saying it's fact that ghosts don't exist I'm just saying "fact" is much too strong a term for it. There is no concrete evidence either way.

So...anectodal evidence doesn't count?

Most of the library research I've done has told me that poltergeists  were not caused by spirits, because spiris do not have the ability to throw or move objects. I've read that they can make noise, but cant do anything like move objects.

I've seen A Haunting. Im skeptical about half of the episodes. And from what I have seen, there have been cases in which religion only made things worse, because the spirits realized you were attempting to remove them. Its just not in my beliefs.

Its understandable. But I think that humor is humor. If the jokes are really good then the adults will laugh at the fact that its funny, even if they cant relate. You just have to prove yourself! AND I BELIEVE IN YOU!

That's actually the sign of a good writer, or so I think, getting your readers (or watchers in this case) to react in such a way to what you write.  I didn't cry, but I was sad when I watched the Fullmetal Alchemist episode where Hughes died, and it really tugged at my heart to see Elicia's reactions to her father's death at his funeral.

Heh, should probably put FMA Spoilers up there in the title as well.

I cried when Hughes died. Like, not major tears. But the quiet and more dramatic single tear.

I thought there were 39 episodes?

37 and two movies.

I cried so hard when L died it wasn't even funny.  Light's death was less tragic, but it still evoked emotion from me.

Well that's perfectly fine as Light's death was like the death of an insane tyrant and L's death was foreshadowed and unjust. I can't believe I didn't catch this until now, but right before L dies he washes Light's feet, similar to the way Jesus washed Judas' feet...

I caught it too.
